How to Start Making Canon Spongeless Refillable Cartridges: PG-240 CL-241 PG-245 CL-246
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
An absolute beginner's guide to making a refillable cartridge out of used Canon cartridges, such as PG-240, CL-241, PG-245, and CL-246. We showed how to prepare and glue a new cover to the old cartridge, unclog, and troubleshoot possible problems... all from a beginner's perspective.

Your country may have a different name for the cartridge, for example, PG-245/CL-246 may become PG-545/ CL-546 or PG-240/CL241 becomes PG-840/CL-841. They are the same and should work on yours.

can i use gel s/glue and original cover sanded? i do not see where to buy clear or why
One tip I learned for finding out if your ink cartridge is running out of ink is to weight it when full. Then check it from time to time.
Purchased the kit from BCH, prepared and installed new covers without a problem, filled with ink, plugged the holes, placed them in the printer, test was perfect. No problems. Highly recommend...

Can't we just use the same canon tops which was opened before removing the sponge?
26:12 never in my entire life me had an idea that canon cartridges can be totally soak in water or solution. Thank you very much for the knowledge you've shared.
just finished this myself. was really super easy. if you take your time anyone i think can do this. i have a lot of exp doing things like this but i dont see how anyone could mess this up to bad again as long as they take their time and do one step at a time. will order a few more of these to keep on hand when someone comes in i can offer this to them also.
Great work Deeply explained every point Thank you
Thank you Kevin. You sir are a professional genius.
I like the video being for a starter version, it's exactly what I needed!!! 👍
yayyy got mine in the mail today!!!! I will be doing mine in a few mins .
This is really awesome.
I received my order a few days ago. We carefully followed the video & website instructions. But when it came time to fill the black ink, it was leaking profusely from the nozzle. We figured it could be from not removing the tape first and pressure being applied since it didn’t leak after we removed it. I had to do several print tests and cleanings and it’s now working great!

Yes the sponge holds the ink through capillary action, so that it doesn't just flow out.
This is marvelous!

I'm always willing to learn new things I think I can fix anything Lol I KZread everything and I got a book on fix it yourself I grew up watching my brothers and kids father so it's in me I just be over excited mind be racing you a very great teacher I got the kit just may do it today I was gone make soap,had my grandson he keep me on my feet they burn...may God bless you you save ppl money I'm save this viv in case I order a fit from you thank you sir.
Thanks for the update I will be following up with you to see if you have any other ideas thanks
Lol, "Do you think regular people will be able to do this?" Me; regular person, "crap, I dunno if I'm going to be able to do this!" It looked so much easier before I bought all the stuff, and sat down to do it! 🤦♀️ I got lost in the soaking of the cartridges, and blowing air in them. Then again with the test prints. I didn't even know you could do that! I'm a super novice with computers, I've tried most of my life, quite successfully I might add, to not have to deal with them in any capacity. I'll keep watching. Thank you for your videos!

Attention : REGULAR PEOPLE CANNOT DO THIS
what is the life time for the canon print head on this kind of canon cartridge? My experience with 645 black cartridge is around 1000 pages within 3 days. I simply drilled two holes to refill ink.
Hi, which print heads can I use to replace the cartridges for Canon Pixma Ts 3140? Black cartridge 445 and Colour 446. Kindly assist
Just drilling a little hole and fill with a syringe is still the simplest way to do it, the trick is do it before running out of ink, this way the flow of ink is not interrupted. Print regularly even when you have nothing to print, print anything, keep the wetness around those printing head :) Amazon has many refill kits, 5 X100ml bottles, 2 blacks with the colors at around 25$ cad. 500 ml is a lot of refills.

Hae which ink is good to use
Good morning Very nice video, well explained, the principle should be the same for all inkjet cartridges, good luck for your business
Just ordered mine hopefully it does well
Where I can find those clear cover for the cartridges?
Thanks for the video
Purchased the kit from bch technologies and followed all procedures to remove the clog from the cartridge. Both black and color inks are printing good now, only problem is my black is spilling little ink from the print head at the top or sometimes bottom of the page when I take printout. If I remove and wipe the print head, it prints good. Is there a fix for this leakage?
If the black ink cartridge was working fine and suddently it is showing horizontal lines but when you put it in a cup with water the ink comes out easily, what could be the reason for the print out to show horizontal lines? I already used the clip to pump the ink fromt he bottom of the cartridge with a seringe and the cartridge is spongeless.
Do they have cartridge covers for HP940 ink cartridges? These weird ones use two inks on one cartridge Black/Yellow and Cyan/Magenta.
can i remove the sponge use the original lid? cant find a lid that's similar to yours
i have 210/211 and have bought fake canon cartridges or had my old ones refilled. None of them are recognized by the pixma MX360. any ideas?
Master Kevin(at BCH) in your honest viewpoint, how many times can one refill same cartridge? and have many times have u refilled a cartridge until something wrong happened? Just curious to know. Thanks
Thx for the tutorial. Where can I get those covers for the cartridge, please?

Hi Kevin, when you put pressure into the cartridge to unclog the head. Question why doesn't this keep pushing out the ink. When I took off my old cover and pored di water into the 3 tanks canon CL-561 and left over night the water had leaked out so why wont the ink ?? Kind Regards
Sorry Mr. Kevin. I posted the same question in two different videos and I deleted the wrong one. Thank you so much for answering my question about how long do I leave it with the rubber bands on. You said usually about 12 hours, in case someone else is also wondering. I just finished mines and it was very easy. Thank you so much for everything. I really appreciate it. I will later go to your website to do the review. Thanks again. Guys you need to buy this. I definitely recommend it.

Can I do with Canon Ink Cartridge Black and Colour (PG-810 & CL-811)
Hey, does anyone from BCH answer the questions on your ads on Walmarts site? I’m waiting to order but no one has answered and the ad picture shows the entire kit with ink, syringes, stickers and drill tool. But if you read the fine print it says “ink only”. So does it come with everything in the ads picture? Or is it just ink and a little false advertisement????
Hello, I'm not sure if I'll get an answer, but here goes. I have a Canon e4570 with a modified external ink tank, on the side of the machine. I do about 1200pages in black and my printer head has to be changed. Color head is changed at 1700 pages. Any reason why? Are the heads meant to be replaced often? Compared to the original once used cartridge, I believe that you could only ger 300pgs.
How do we get those transparent cartridge cover please.
So would this ink work on my EPSON workforce printer?
Hello Kevin, you saved a lot to us, Canon is looting everyone's pocket
Good afternoon !!!! What is included in the composition (components and reagents) of the green solution "BCH" with which you cleaned the nozzles of the cartridge ???? 28:40 min

Clog cartridges can be fix by putting it in a container with hot water 9-100 and leave it for 1 hour. then fill a syringe with hot water and insert the needle inside the cartridge holes then slowly inject water in it.... repeat until all the ink inside that's coming out is a little bit clearer.... I used this for my old cannon fine cartridges and it works amazing...
